Career

2011-2016; Early years, Tell Me I Belong

Born James Harmon Stack, Jim-E Stack grew up in San Francisco's Inner Richmond,[1] where his passion for music evolved from playing in garage rock bands and jazz bands to making beats inspired by Daft Punk, Burial, J Dilla, Timbaland, and The Neptunes.[13] While Jim-E lived in New Orleans and Brooklyn, his original releases and EPs, in addition to remixes for Sky Ferreira and ASAP Rocky,[12] garnered critical acclaim and interest. It would lead to his debut 2014 album, Tell Me I Belong,[14] accompanied by touring with Shlohmo and Bonobo.[12]

2016–present; Singles and collaborations

Returning to California in 2016, Jim-E continued to release new solo material,[3] including collaborations with fellow electronic artist The Range,[15] as well as solo releases featuring Noonie Bao, Rostam, Charli XCX, and more.[3] Between then and early 2019, he collaborated with Empress Of, Diplo, and Caroline Polachek for their own music, in addition to contributing on songs for Haim.

Jim-E Stack contributed heavily to Kacy Hill's second studio album Is It Selfish If We Talk About Me Again, released July 2020.[16] The pair are now dating, and Hill states Jim-E Stack acted as inspiration to much of the album's lyrical content in the liner notes of the record.[17]

From late 2019 through 2020, Stack released new singles featuring Ant Clemons,[18] Empress Of,[11] Dijon and Bon Iver,[19] along with an announcement for a new album titled EPHEMERA. It features the aforementioned singles, with other collaborations with Octavian, Bearface of Brockhampton and Kacy Hill.[20]
